1-3-1862 Mother 2-3.
\nfurnished with bureau, washstands, writing table, and a couple of chairs. It also has a fire place and if I stay here this winter, I shall be fixed very comfortably. I pay fifteen dollars for room and fifteen for board, making it cost me the same as when I was with the 2nd.
\n\tI was at the President\u2019s levee on New Year\u2019s Day and had the pleasure of shaking hands with him. He had on a pair of white kid gloves, I suppose when he commenced, but when I saw him, they were about the color of Tom\u2019s kids when he had no gloves. I saw his wife standing by him. I told you I thought she was very near the size of Sarah Meredith but she is not much taller than you and looks as duchy as she well can look.
\n\tI\u2019ve been to the Capital several times lately and I\u2019d give about anything to have you all see it. There are more of the finest pictures I suppose that are in America. Several of them are as large as one side of your parlor.
\n\tThere is a full statue of Washington presented by the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Senate Chamber and House of Representatives I shall not attempt to describe. I couldn\u2019t tell you anything like how they look. But it would be worth while to come here just to see them if you didn\u2019t expect to see anything else.
\n\tI hope you all had a merry time of it this Christmas. It was the first one that I ever remember of being absent and I never saw a Christmas that I enjoyed so little.
\n\tI have nothing else to write at present so I\u2019ll close, hoping this will find you all well. Please write soon and tell Pa to write for I\u2019m getting impatient to hear from home. I haven\u2019t heard since I came away.
\nYour affectionate son. W. J. Fisher<\/p>\n"},"alt_text":"","media_type":"image","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","media_details":{"width":3173,"height":2396,"file":"1-3-1862-Mother-2-3.jpg","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"1-3-1862-Mother-2-3-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-3-1862-Mother-2-3-150x150.jpg"},"medium":{"file":"1-3-1862-Mother-2-3-300x227.jpg","width":300,"height":227,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-3-1862-Mother-2-3-300x227.jpg"},"medium_large":{"file":"1-3-1862-Mother-2-3-768x580.jpg","width":768,"height":580,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-3-1862-Mother-2-3-768x580.jpg"},"large":{"file":"1-3-1862-Mother-2-3-2000x1510.jpg","width":2000,"height":1510,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-3-1862-Mother-2-3-2000x1510.jpg"},"post-thumbnail":{"file":"1-3-1862-Mother-2-3-300x300.jpg","width":300,"height":300,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-3-1862-Mother-2-3-300x300.jpg"},"post_thumbnail":{"file":"1-3-1862-Mother-2-3-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-3-1862-Mother-2-3-150x150.jpg"},"single-post-thumbnail":{"file":"1-3-1862-Mother-2-3-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-3-1862-Mother-2-3-150x150.jpg"},"home-post-thumbnail":{"file":"1-3-1862-Mother-2-3-200x200.jpg","width":200,"height":200,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-3-1862-Mother-2-3-200x200.jpg"},"full":{"file":"1-3-1862-Mother-2-3.jpg","width":3173,"height":2396,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-3-1862-Mother-2-3.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1","keywords":[]}},"post":null,"source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-3-1862-Mother-2-3.jpg","filename":"1-3-1862-Mother-2-3.jpg","filesize":2048369,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8500","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/attachment"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8500"}]}}
